----------

PALIKIR, Pohnpei — June 5, 2026 — President Wesley W. Simina has formally called a special session of the Twenty-Fourth Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), scheduled to convene on July 1, 2026, pursuant to Article IX, Section 16 of the FSM Constitution.

The call follows discussions between the Executive and Legislative branches on several matters requiring timely congressional consideration. In a letter addressed to T.H. Speaker Esmond B. Moses, President Simina underscored the importance of convening a special session to address key fiscal, legislative, and administrative priorities and to ensure the continued effective operation of government.

Speaker Moses has since responded in writing, confirming that Congress will convene its Third Special Session on July 1, 2026, for a period of ten (10) consecutive days. He expressed his appreciation to President Simina for the continued coordination and acknowledged the significance of the matters set forth in the letter.

The Simina-Palik Administration reaffirms its commitment to working closely with Congress to advance national priorities and to ensure the well-being of the Federated States of Micronesia and its people.
